News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Monday, January 29, 2007

Winterhaven Calif. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agents from the Calexico, Calif. station seized 2,877 pounds of marijuana on January 28, making it the largest marijuana seizure in fiscal year 2007 in El Centro sector.

At 2:30 p.m., CBP Border Patrol agents observed a Ford F-250 and Chevrolet Silverado illegally enter the U.S. near the Imperial Sand Dunes. Agents began to follow both trucks as they entered Interstate 8 westbound. The F-250 failed to yield to agents’ emergency equipment, but was safely stopped using a controlled tire deflation device. The driver of the Silverado made attempts to evade Border Patrol agents before driving the vehicle into an agricultural irrigation ditch just east of Calexico.
